Abstract (en)

[origin: WO2012144977A1] Disclosed herein are muUicoraponem borehole radar tools and methods. At least some tool embodiments employ at least two antennas that recei ve reflections of electromagnetic pulses transmitted from the tool. A processor processes the receive signals to identify reflection signals and to determine a direction and/or distance to the sources of the reflection signals. Possible sources include formation boundaries, fluid boundaries, eased wells, and other features that cause contrasts in electromagnetic properties, in addition, to reflection signals, the measured responses may include direct signal measurements that are useful for determining formation resistivity and permittivity. Each of the antennas may transmit and receive, and they may he collocated to reduce tool size and reduce processing complexity. Disclosed, logging tool, examples employ both electric and magnetic dipoie antennas.
